Ramblings of a Dutchy in California

In April 2003 I traded my hometown of Haarlem, Netherlands, for the San Francisco Bay Area and a career in tech journalism and high-tech public relations. But work isn't the only reason I like the area, as you'll see on this blog, which will primarily have photos and some personal thoughts.

Tuol Sleng Museum - Pol Pot's Secret Prison

Following up to the last post, here are some pictures of Tuol Sleng, the high school turned secret prison in Phnom Penh during the Khmer Rouge regime in the late 1970s.



A cell in the VIP (very important prisoner) segment where torture happened daily.


The Khmer Rouge documented carefully who entered the prison. Practically everyone was eventually killed.


Cells for female prisoners on the second floor. Male prisoners were on the ground floor in cells without doors, but they were shackled to the floor.


A view from one of the school buildings/prison buildings to another.
